Maybe too young to remember they sponsored RCH

New business idea: for a small fee, I'll create a fake moto news site and post an article about how your current bike was found to be dangerous or prone to failure or causes hair loss - whatever you want me to say. Let me know what bike you want to buy and it will also win my fake shootout. Wait till she reads how the new bike's sound made all of the test riders better listeners, or how the new app also helped them remember important dates and events.

He will be. I am more so worried about George.

I don’t think it’s going to matter until he starts practicing like he races. He admits he doesn’t practice at full pace, maybe that works at Europe’s beat up sand tracks but with the grooming and prep we have here it’s won’t equate imo.

"First time I started the bike and clicked 1st gear, I already could feel just that response that I love from the KTM"....You can't make this shit up Folks. 🤣. In 2025 you can now tell the performance of the entire motorcycle's capabilities just by shifting into 1st gear. What a time to be alive.

Is it a good time to drag out the videos from ONE year ago where he was slagging off the Austrian bikes and calling the Kawi the best thing since sliced bread?

Maybe it's that way for a large and/or outside the industry sponsor, like Progressive or Red Bull. For an endemic sponsor like SKDA, I would say they landed HRC.

Wsx dropping the ball on not paying kroc to do all the races... not a good look

A quick search shows that Acerbis and Cycra both have their HQ's on Old Hargrave Rd, Lexington, NC. Sure it took < 2 minutes to look at the companies' websites to see their addresses, but it's not nearly as cool and trendy as consulting an AI and regurgitating it as fact. Talon Vohland was on PulpMX a few months ago and talked about how the companies are under the same ownership but they are trying to remain distinguished from each other.

Nice AI copy and paste answer

Acerbis absolutely owns Cycra and it's been quite a few years now.

No radiator louvers? Uses an oil cooler and a fan, though. Man, those conditions look gnarly and by the end of the season the bikes are haggard. How many bikes do you think they go through in a season (per rider)? Roughly 4-6 each? $$$!

I'll take my victory lap thank you 🤣 For anyone who still considers this cheating, you need to understand what a current spike is and what it is caused by. Essentially any time the rear wheel changes rpm that requires current, whether that is accelerating or decelerating. Because there is no gear box on electric bikes we often see the rear wheel speeds in the air exceed those of a gas bike by a pretty considerable margin, which is part of why it's so easy to adjust pitch on an electric bike, so when landing from a jump all of...

The answer is really easy here. 250cc 4 strokes race with 250cc 4 strokes. 450cc 4 strokes race with 450cc 4 strokes. E bikes race with E bikes. Seems pretty simple, really. We saw what happened when we tried to combine 250cc 4 strokes with 125cc 2 strokes and 450cc 4 strokes with 250cc 2 strokes.

That’s what we should have. Unlike, say drag racing, more power isn’t the universal panacea. 500cc 2 strokes, factory 4 strokes of any capacity. My Husky 701 SM makes 79.78hp. Same as an unrestricted Stark. Put one of those lumps in a 450mx frame if you think it will help. Supercharged if you want. Regulate min weight (for safety) and max noise. Drop the flag. May the best man win!

the AMA and FIM currently use displacement, cubic centimeters, to regulate the 2 classes for the professional racing series, 250 and 450 cubic centimeter… can any of you guys describe what the displacement of the STARK is to someone that isn’t smart enough to figure it out on their own? please and thank you!

Haaaaa, now I get why they're always racing backwards: that's because they're not in stock form. What a shame.

E-bikes vs ICE bikes is stupid to even entertain the idea. They are not equals, they are different. They need their own class, that way they can go away sooner.

i know what should happen! Now hear me out cause this is CRAZY...but maybe...possibly...if not too much trouble...our moto-media crew could pick up the phone, call this team, and ask them to comment about the penalty. No more speculating, just normal answers to a simple question. But it won't happen so.........
